Watch: Climate Change and Human Mobility Across Borders

Description

In the face of the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-accelerated extreme climate and weather events, communities are grappling with the decision to either stay in place and face heightened risk, or to relocate to safer areas. Watch our briefing on Climate Change and Human Mobility Across Borders will discuss how the movement of people across borders is inextricably linked to complex legal, social, and policy questions.

Held in partnership with the UC Disaster Resilience Network and the UC Berkeley Institute for Security and Governance, this expert briefing series is part of CCST’s Disaster Resilience Initiative. Generously supported by the State of California, the Disaster Resilience Initiative connects science and technology experts and policymakers focused on the overlapping, intersecting, and compounding nature of disasters in California.
